you have already acknowledged that your thinking is OCD, I have written a journal on how to take the first steps in relableing an OCD thought, maybe you should have a read of that and see if it helps you at all.
Simples, just read teaks post, understand it and you will know its impossible to get HIV from what you asked. If that dosnt ease your phobia, then seek help for your mental state as forums can only give advise for those with a sound mental state.
Thanx for reply Why I am getting so stressed for this incident. I have HIV phobia how can I make me feel better that I don't HIV after this incident
Doesn't change a thing. HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
